Property code: OC-HH631

A lovely bolthole for two with a charming courtyard garden, this cosy apartment is located within easy reach of the Gower Peninsula; an iconic 19-mile stretch of coastline famed for its diverse scenery and fabulous golden beaches. This compact retreat sits just a short walk from the Mumbles and its beloved row of cafes, shops and pubs - the ideal base for those in search of a vibrant seaside destination surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Step inside and you’ll find the spacious layout is largely open-plan, an ideal space for a couple. Artfully zoned, the living area and bedroom are roomy and bright, with a comfortable sofa, king-size zip-and-link bed, TV and plenty of storage. Just off here, you’ll find the separate shower room and WC, and another door leads to the well-equipped kitchen with dining space for two. From the living area/bedroom, French doors lead onto the paved patio which sits at the front of the studio apartment. It is a delightful sun spot, great for al fresco dining, and also offers a convenient roofed area under the eaves from the building’s overhang - so you can sit out in the courtyard come rain or shine.

The apartment is set on the outskirts of the popular seaside resort of Mumbles, a destination famed for its mile-long stretch of pubs and eateries - once frequented by the likes of Dylan Thomas and to this day, still famed for its welcoming atmosphere. Walkers can pick up the coastal path within 0.5 miles of the property and follow the scenic route directly to the beach. The Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a short drive away and boasts incredible sandy beaches which draw in sunbathers, sea swimmers and surfers from far and wide. Pick up the Wales Coast Path and take in quiet salt marshes to the north and dramatic clifftop panoramas to the south.

We were made to feel very welcome at the lovely gite. In a good location for walking and for travelling by car further afield. We particularly liked the beautiful private patio garden and the spacious kitchen diner with full facilities for cooking meals. Our second visit and it did not disappoint.

You could not have been more hospitable, I have stayed in many AirBnBs here in swansea and around the world and this one is top notch. I will never stay anywhere else in Swansea if the Gite is available. You can see the love and pride that has been put into the Gite.

It was an excellent property and we had a great stay. The owners were very welcoming, it had a stunning garden, and everything we needed. The kitchen was much more spacious than it seemed on photos! The only thing we would improve is a couple of small bits like a door mat, and some more essentials available like cooking oil, dishcloth, shower soap Read more- which isnt critical and we have picked up those items but just makes it a little easier. A smart TV would also make a good upgrade for streaming. Having said that, we would definitely stay again! Hide
